File under "Hoover wears a dress..."

Good ol' Robert S weighs in on the whole wiretap/NSA spooky stuff

Now, if the numbers bantied about of 3 dozen unauthorized taps ... not much more than a tempest in a teacup.

Brief history of Federal taping and snooping...

PBS | I, Cringely . January 19, 2006 - Hitler on Line One:

"Who is listening-in on your phone calls? Probably nobody. Right now, there is huge interest in phone tapping in the United States because the Bush Administration (through the National Security Agency) was caught listening in without appropriate court orders. What I have noticed is that, for all the talking and writing on this subject, there seems to be very little real information being presented. So this column is my attempt to share what I've learned about the topic. It might surprise you."
